@jonworth.euDash to FNAC. Charger bought. Dash to eat something. Dash to train. #LongestTrainEU leg to Barcelona is on.
@jonworth.euDamn. Different kind of mess on #LongestTrainEU this morning.
Probably while still half asleep I left a bag of chargers and cables on the Lyon - Valence TGV (that was going to Nice), and I am now on a Valence - Perpignan TGV.
SNCF is informed, I hope they find it!
@jonworth.euThe #LongestTrainEU live map is sort of working - it's on the right track, just the times listed on the map are wrong livemap.crossborderrail.eu
I think I should have designed these mapping systems with more flexibility for the cases of disruption in mind! 😄
@jonworth.euAmusingly #LongestTrainEU managed to cause an earthquake yesterday when passing Mannheim www.tagesschau.de/inland/regio...
@jonworth.euOnwards to Lyon. Thread resumes once I’ve woken up. #LongestTrainEU
@jonworth.euHere’s today’s #LongestTrainEU video - it also explains what’s next https://peertube.netzbegruenung.de/w/wh5rmUEsGasDZL74aCAqtc
@jogroene.eurosky.socialAmazing to follow along this kinda crazy #Trainride #LongestTrainEU
@jonworth.euOK, so the last train of #LongestTrainEU today is here - the IR Renens VD - Genève
So trying to get from Genève to Badajoz tomorrow is ON
Today - based on the route-km of the night train calculated from midnight - has been a total of 2149km
@jonworth.euThis is the most likely timetable for #LongestTrainEU from now on - depending on mishaps to come of course 😄
@jonworth.euSo I *think* the route is going to be
ICE 771 Hamburg Hbf - Mannheim Hbf
ICE 201 Mannheim Hbf - Karlsruhe Hbf
ICE 75 Karlsruhe Hbf - Basel SBB
IC 1640 Basel SBB - Renens VD
IR 1738 Renens VD - Geneve
Arrival Genève 00:39, all being well
@jonworth.euSo that was a total mess. ICE 201 left Mannheim c. +20. Rolling into Karlsruhe, sudden announcement that the train has a technical fault. Everyone sprints for ICE 75 opposite! But getting to Genève is still possible. #LongestTrainEU
@jonworth.euRather odd request, and a very long story, but do I have any followers in Badajoz 🇪🇸 who could lend me a bike Saturday morning to cycle to Elvas 🇵🇹, buy some Interrail reservations, and then return to Badajoz before a 14:00 train? #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail
@transpontus.bahn.social.ap.brid.gyBest of luck with the rest of the trip @jon !
#longesttraineu #CrossBorderRail
@moof.spaceAnd as @jon passed through Barcelona Sants on his record-setting #LongestTrainEU attempt, there was a (one man) cheerleading section there to cheer him on his 10-minute platform change.
He managed to find a way to the other platform’s queue without leaving […]
